Corning confirmed Galaxy S23 will use Gorilla Glass Victus 2

Corning announced today that Samsung will be using its latest Gorilla Glass Victus 2 in its next generation of Galaxy flagship smartphones. The new glass composition of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 offers improved drop protection on rough surfaces, while maintaining its scratch resistance.

“Today’s consumers expect damage-resistant smartphone displays,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general manager, Gorilla Glass. “For more than a decade, Gorilla Glass has met the needs of smartphone users, setting the standard for tough cover materials. We are proud to continue our long partnership with Samsung and have our latest innovations play a vital role in Samsung’s newest Galaxy smartphones.”

“We’re committed to integrating sustainability throughout our product lifecycle, working with like-minded partners such as Corning to improve performance while reducing our environmental impact,” said Stephanie Choi, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Mobile eXperience Business, Samsung Electronics. “Our next generation of Galaxy flagship smartphones are the first devices to use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, offering better durability and improved sustainability at the same time.”

In November 2022, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 was released. It redefines toughness for consumers and OEMs by better surviving drops on rough surfaces like concrete, the most widely used engineered material in the world. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) verified that Gorilla Glass Victus 2 has an Environmental Claim Validation due to its environmental focus and the fact that it contains an average of 22% pre-consumer recycled content.
